I haven't been machete shopping recently, but wouldn't a large group of people amassing an arsenal of 10 machetes kind of stand out?

I mean let's say they're planning this, and it turns out 5 of the 10 have machetes lying around. Do the other 5 go to the machete district down on east side of town and split up to the 3 or 4 stores that carry machetes (you know, so it doesn't seem suspicious)? Maybe, if they space out the purchases...?...

Machetes are effective, makes the other guy think you're a crazy motherfarker.

/csbGuy flew around a corner as I pulled out of an alley, I laid on the horn. Fella stops, gets out of his car as he grabs a tire iron from behind his seat screaming about how he was "gonna fark you up!"

Get out of truck, grab machete from under the seat and turn around. Guy about shiats himself as he screams about how crazy of a motherfarker I am as he runs back to his car and how "I'll be ready fo youz next time!"

ClavellBCMI:StoPPeRmobile: San Antonio police said they also cut the teen on the left arm. The 14-year-old was treated at the scene by paramedics.

Pretty sucky machete skillz.

Yes. If you are going to attack someone with a machete, the other guy should be nothing but shredded long pork.

If they bought the Chinese made ones from their local Walmart I'm impressed that they did anything more than bruise the kid.Everyone knows you don't buy Chinese unless a non Chinese first world country does QC (some Spyderco and Cold Steel blades, for example). Or Pakistani steel ever.

I'm sure many Dead-Eye Magoo Farkers on here would have coolly lit up the room and taken all 10 down without a single scratch. Being out numbered doesn't matter so long as you have enough bullets, amiright.

In a metro area with two million people? No, it won't be noticed. I'm pretty sure more than 10 people in this city have bought machetes today. Hopefully most of them are not planning home invasions.
